Changes to Psionics Overhaul V3
- The Psion tree has been given a wedgie. Check this link to see it.[docs.google.com] Notably, each rank other than the starting one has a full selection of 4 abilities. Note that you will need Mitzruti's Perk Pack, Iridar's More Psi Abilities and the Stormrider Class (even if you don't intend to use the class itself) in order for there to be no missing abilities.

- Psions start with Insanity now instead of Soulfire.

- In addition to Templars, Stormriders and Wardens also have 100% chance of being Psions.

- In addition to Reapers and Skirmishers, Crashers and Keepers (LWOTC version) are 35% likely to be Psions. All other classes have a 20% chance (unchanged from original mod).

- Classes from MEC Troopers For LWOTC, Playable XCOM 2 Aliens For LWOTC, Buildable Units and Shiv Mod are not eligible to be Psions. Note: if a soldier with The Gift becomes a MEC Trooper, they will still have The Gift post-augmentation. The Psionics Overhaul V3 mod currently does not have any way to handle soldiers that change from one non-Rookie class to another. If you decide to put a MEC Trooper in the Psion tube, don't complain to me about bugs or balance issues.

- No additional abilities can be acquired after maxing out your Psion rank, down from 6. (Which means they will end with a total of 8 Psi abilities if you train them to the max, down from 14. These numbers include their starting ability.)

- Psions gain 45 Psi after their initial training (down from 50) and get 4 extra Psi per rank (down from 6 to 14 extra per rank).

- Max base Psi is 200, up from 150. Note that you are very unlikely to actually reach this number if you leave the configs as they are.

- Abilities can only be learned from up to 1 rank higher than the Psion's actual rank (down from 2).

- Soldiers must reach GSGT rank in order to be able to max out their Psion rank (was previously SSGT).

- Templars cannot learn the Psion's version of Pillar. Other than that, there are no restrictions on who can learn which ability. If you're not using my LWOTC version of the Stormrider class, note that your Stormriders may pick up abilities that they already can learn through rank ups, so consider restricting those if that's the case.

- The Psi specializations have names now: Chaos, Destruction, Enchantment, and Manipulation.

- Psions can equip the Psionic Reaper (Advent Warlock) and Psi Gatling Rifle (Armored Viper). (Note that the latter is from a mod that is not currently part of Mod Jam.)

- Soulfire is now a prerequisite ability for Soul Steal.

Something weird on my end. Got a soldier, recon class, made him into a mec and he is still able to learn psionic abilities.

Oh, weird. I'll double check the configs.

The configs SHOULD work. For now I've left a comment on Psionics Overhaul V3 about this issue. If I don't get a response I'll see about making an option to remove the TheGift ability via OPTC or something.

I think it went really weird in my game. Anyone able to become a psion already carries a psi amp before even doing the psion training.

You could grab the No More Psi Amps mod. I set up the Psion tree to be perfectly compatible with it.

Note on compatibility: Psi Overhaul has a hard crash when ran alongside https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1279552846. The solution is posted on the comments but not on the description, so I´ll reproduce it here. Essentially, Mission Random posters CANNOT be disabled or the missions crash on end:

[DisableRandomPosters.DisableRandomPosters_Defaults]
MISSION=true

Soul Steal gets offered at times where soulfire was never learned. I think an ability requirement needs to get put on it.

Good call. Just dropped an update with that change.
